I still have my Calcutta Cane surf rod that I built for striper fishing. I can zing a shad a long way with it. Or, at least I used to be able to. I haven't fished anywhere but out of my own ponds for a long time. We have some cane growing around NW Texas but it's pretty flimsy stuff.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
